If he can actually play in the playoffs they're going to be drat tough out.

So the NHL let the Bruins make 5 emergency recalls yesterday so they could rest guys, but today with Sam Lafferty actually getting hurt in practice and Matt Murray/Calle Jarnkrok both out for a week the league is refusing to let the Leafs recall an emergency goalie So time for yet another random college dude on the bench!

Cap still counts. That’s what Boston did, because the LTIR enabled it. Emergency cap relief is another thing but frequently used together. That’s presumably what the Leafs requested and had denied.

The Leafs also just bingoed their remaining cap space to the day to sign Knies so they have literally no money left at all.

Yeah, I feel like using your space to sign a forward when you've been down a goalie for a while then requesting relief probably gets you a very quick, terse no.

On one hand, yeah. On the other hand, even I was able to predict that Toronto would sign Knies on the evening of April 8 or the following day two months ago. On the other hand, this is why you keep enough goalies around or at least make sure they're injured enough to go on IR for a week for the cap relief.

The distinction in this case would be that Lafferty went down to injury today, and he makes more than the Leafs can reasonably get rid of, so the league is punishing the Leafs for not making a corresponding move earlier without knowledge that another forward would go down. And yeah, they did sign Knies over calling up Woll yesterday, but the cap/roster situation today is different.

And yeah, they did sign Knies over calling up Woll yesterday, but the cap/roster situation today is different. You do need to play short for at least a game before you get the cap relief version of an emergency recall, so if this is indeed a new injury/emergency then why should the leafs get credit for playing short before the injury occurred? Also recalling a goalie isn't exactly a corresponding move for a forward getting injured, so that probably makes it harder to justify recalling woll on an emergency basis

They’re not being punished, they’re being denied the opportunity to game the system. If they asked for relief for a forward when Lafferty went down, maybe they get it (but maybe not since now they have Knies.) Asking for a goalie is just blatant.

Lost Season posted:You do need to play short for at least a game before you get the cap relief version of an emergency recall, so if this is indeed a new injury/emergency then why should the leafs get credit for playing short before the injury occurred? So you don’t do the recall as “oh we happen to need a goalie” you go “hey, Lafferty makes $1.15M on the cap which is above the savings we get for waiving a player to call up a goalie, and if we waived two people we’d still be short a roster player and then require an exemption to fill that new hole so let’s save the paperwork and get an exemption for the goalie.” Like, one way or another the Leafs are carrying an injured guy’s salary, need to replace his spot, and the paper moves they could theoretically do to make a subsequent goalie recall “legal” would still put them down a roster player.

Yeah we all get what you're saying about how that's the way you think the rules should work. But they don't. No one's trying to screw the Leafs and/or do the Bruins a solid, what you're describing is against the rules and what the Bruins did isn't. Honestly the cap rules ought to be a lot more draconian than they are, if there's going to be a cap at all.

I guess that’s what I’m really getting at, if there’s a soft exemption that’s based on judgement calls then you open the system up to being gamed and/or being used as punishment as well, when really a hard cap system should probably work by going “tough luck” unilaterally

If you wondered where "all the hockey fights" have gone, apparently they've moved to women's hockey. Don't anyone tell Bulgaria and Romania that a game to determine who finishes FOURTH in Division 3A of the Women's World Hockey Championship is meaningless. https://twitter.com/H0ckeyWorldwide/status/1645160159633702915 To make this um, more NHL N/V related, Don Cherry is probably hootin and hollerin about how this is REAL playoff hockey.

They could have not signed Knies and made a recall and decided not to Speaking of Knies he was fine but it’s very apparent that the team really doesn’t have a need for him this season. Last year when Keefe was running out both Simmonds and Clifford it made sense to think the kid could carve out some space on the roster but adding Acciari and Lafferty at the deadline gives the team more than enough forwards for the checking lines. All this cap gymnastics stuff is just unnecessarily complicated for no value, which feels like a lot of Dubas’ fringe roster moves. Kid has mitts though, it’s easy to see why the team is high on him it’s also just easy to see he needs a summer and training camp at least before he pulls down a regular shift.

Posted this in the G/D but are the NHL.com points all hosed or is ESPN completely wrong about Florida clinching? If Buffalo/Pittsburgh win out, they would be knocked out with a regulation or, potentially with any loss if Buffalo wins out and gets three ROWs.

Big implications for first and the wild card. e: and actually with that shootout loss the Rangers can't win the division anymore. The Devils sure seem like they have a good shot at winning it now if they win their next two. More ROWs than Carolina and Carolina has that brutal game vs. Florida at the end. Buffalo tomorrow with their playoff life on the line is going to be tough though. It's kind of funny that Buffalo beating the Devils tomorrow puts a lot less pressure on Carolina to beat Florida, a result the Sabres pretty much need.

Panthers not getting that OT goal has me stressed for Thursday for what should’ve been a nice end of season ‘friendly’ that meant nothing to either team, but will now feel like a Game 7 and me compiling a list of the games we absolutely should’ve gotten points out of 6 months ago.

The Sabres have to win out no matter what. As long as Florida and Pittsburgh don’t hit or exceed 93 points, the Sabres can make it because apparently they have a tie breaker over NYI? Seems like the most likely scenario would be Pittsburgh losing one of their two games and Florida losing to Carolina. Not that the Sabres winning out is very likely. Maybe a 5% chance of all the stars aligning.
